Indexing
The spindle pulley contains 36 equally
spaced holes. The index pin engages with
these holes to keep the spindle from turn-
ing while you put a mark on the work-
piece.
For example: To locate the position of six
spokes in a wheel:
1. Pull the index pin outward and turn it so
that the small cross pin slips into the
slot. This will allow the index pin to
engage in one of the holes in the pulley
and prevent the spindle from turning.
2. Adjust the tool rest approximately at the
centerline and make a mark.
3. Pull out the index pin and slowly rotate
the workpiece until the pin slides into
the next hole in the pulley.
4. Do this six times and put the next mark
on the workpiece. The two marks will
be spaced 60° apart. Continue this
operation until six spokes are marked
60° apart.
5. Spindle turnings can be divided in the
same manner.
